Chapter 53: The Mutant Thief - Part 3
BOOM!
Smoke erupted in the mutant arena as the fierce battle between Akito and the Mutant Thief continued.
From the gallery above, Ryo, Kai, and a group of other mutants watched through the thick glass, tension written across their faces.
"The... Mutant Thief's ability... it's powerful!" Kai said, gripping the edge of the railing.
"Yeah..." Ryo nodded slowly, eyes narrowed. "The ability to shoot laser beams from his eyes is no joke. But... I wonder..."
Kai glanced at Ryo, raising a curious eyebrow. "Wonder what?"
Ryo crossed his arms, gaze still fixed on the arena floor. "I wonder why he's called the Mutant Thief. His ability doesn't really explain the nickname."
Down in the arena...
FWOOOOSH!
Akito suddenly reappeared – enlarged back to his normal size. His body was battered and bruised, his breath ragged as he collapsed to the ground. He lay there, chest rising and falling rapidly, struggling to recover from the intensity of the battle.
The Mutant Thief stood a few metres away, completely calm – arms crossed, his stance unwavering.
